need help - a button in an instance to control the main movie

[johndeaville]

hello

i have created a movie with all of my sections as symbols - i have created a button in one symbol that should make the main movie advance to another frame , i can only get it to advance within that symbol rather than making the button control the main movie

any help much appreciated or if any further clarification needed my email is [e-mail]

thanks

You need to specify what timeline you wish to progress:

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

Where _root is the main timeline and (2) is the frame to go to.

Should work.
